QNAP unveils the QWA-AC2600 Wireless Adapter

QNAP Systems (QNAP) has released the $160 QWA-AC2600 wireless adapter that can provide increased flexibility in NAS deployment and potential NAS applications.

It’s a 2.4/5 GHz dual band dual concurrent (DBDC), 4 x 4 multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) PCI Express (PCIe) wireless adapter, equipped with two Qualcomm QCA9984 NICs, that supports speeds up to 2533 Mbps. The QWA-AC2600 can be used with Ubuntu/Linux PCs or QNAP NAS to set up wireless access points or base stations for other wireless devices to directly access data inside it, while offloading traffic from the primary wireless base station. Ideal scenarios include IoT (Internet of Things) developments, video surveillance and more.
